29. STATE OF ARIZONA OPENBOOKS SERVICE AGREEMENT Authorize and approve the Arizona Department of Administration General Accounting Office (ADOA-GAO) OpenBooks Service Agreement and the Local Government Access Request & Entity User Authorization Form which will grant county users access to the administrative OpenBooks system. The Service Agreement and Entity User Authorization will allow Maricopa County to use the State of Arizona transparency website for publishing a comprehensive database for county revenues and expenditures transactions in accordance with ARS Section 41-725. The County is, and has been, in compliance with ARS Section 41-725 as the County annually publishes the audited Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and receives the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association. The County currently publishes revenues and expenditures on the County’s OpenGov platform which provides for additional transparency to all users. Future revenue and expenditure transactions will be reported similarly; however the financial data will be available through the State of Arizona OpenBooks system. The cost to the County for using the State hosted transparency website is $2,000 for the initial start-up cost and $1,000 annually thereafter. It is anticipated that the County will use the State OpenBooks portal starting July 1, 2019; however OET and Finance will test and validate the transactions with the State prior to implementation.
